Description
Maailmasta on loppumassa vesi. Suunnattoman katastrofin - ehkä ilmastonmuutoksen, ehkä jonkin muun - läpikäynyt ihmiskunta sinnittelee veden vähyyden ja sen säännöstelyä hallitsevan diktatuurin vallan alla. Vain kaatopaikoille hautautunut teknologia ja teemestarien sukupolvien ajan pitämät päiväkirjat muistuttavat entisistä ajoista. Noria on teemestarien sukua, ja pian on hänen vuoronsa ottaa vastaan täysivaltaisen teemestarin arvo - ja edeltäjiensä tarkkaan varjelema salaisuus. Aikana, jona veden kätkeminen on rikoksista pahin, sotilasvallan katseet kiinnittyvät väistämättä teemestarin taloon...
Description
"The award-winning speculative debut novel, now in English for the first time! In the far north of the Scandinavian Union, now occupied by the power state of New Qian, seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio studies to become a tea master like her father. It is a position that holds great responsibility and a dangerous secret. Tea masters alone know the location of hidden water sources, including the natural spring that once provided water for her whole village. When Noria's father dies, the secret of the spring reaches the new military commander. and the power of the army is vast indeed. But the precious water reserve is not the only forbidden knowledge Noria possesses, and resistance is a fine line. Threatened with imprisonment, and with her life at stake, Noria must make an excruciating, dangerous choice between knowledge and freedom"-- "An amazing, award-winning dystopian debut novel by a major new talent"--
